 I've been building IVs  for over 13 years, so I haven't been around since very beginning. I cannot
 think  of a single Lancair IV crash that was cause by engine failure turbine or
 piston.  Both engines are very reliable. I cannot think of a single crash of a
 IV or  Legacy due to airframe failure. I don't follow the smaller Lancairs
 but I think  they have a darn good record too. There was an engine failure
 problem in a  Legacy crash that we can probably all agree that Shannon could have
 handled  better in many different ways.
 
 I remember a number of flights into severe weather that weren't  successful.
 I remember a number of stall/spin accidents. We've been  through this all many
 times before, these are great little airplanes. All  that's really required
 to fly them safely is good judgement.
 
 Have I missed a bunch of engine failures?
